This makes the safety of Cannabis even less. If someone is totally pissed,
behind the wheel of a car, and he's drinving badly because of it, then
he's probably going to get pulled over, and the police are going to know
that he's drunk, and arrest him. No one dead.

Now, suppose the same bloke was cained of his block, and is driving
badly (but not dangerously - yet). He gets pulled over by the police,
and fail to find anything wrong with him. They caution him about his
erratic driving, and let him go. Then he kills someone!

Until there is a test for drugged drivers, then there is enormous risk
in legalising/decriminalising Dope.
